About the Role

We're looking for a DevOps engineer who loves AWS and building resilient systems that just work. You'll architect serverless pipelines with Lambda, manage databases that handle millions of rows, and ensure our platform scales smoothly from 100 to 10,000 customers without breaking a sweat.

This role is all about reliability, automation, and smart infrastructure decisions. You'll work across the full AWS stack, own our deployment pipelines, and help the team ship features confidently. We move fast but care deeply about uptime and data integrity. When things are humming along smoothly, we celebrate. When the pager goes off, we fix it together and make sure it doesn't happen again.

What You'll Do

Design and maintain AWS infrastructure using infrastructure as code (Terraform)
Build and optimize serverless pipelines using Lambda, SQS, and EventBridge
Manage production databases (RDS MySQL, ClickHouse)—backups, scaling, performance tuning
Build CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions for web, mobile, and backend deployments
Implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting (CloudWatch, Sentry)
Optimize infrastructure costs—we care about efficiency, not throwing money at problems
Be on-call rotation (shared with team, compensated, with clear runbooks)

What We're Looking For

4+ years DevOps, platform, or SRE experience managing production systems
Expert AWS knowledge—Lambda, RDS, SQS, S3, CloudWatch, IAM, you know the drill
Infrastructure as code experience (Terraform preferred, CloudFormation acceptable)
Strong Linux/Unix skills and scripting (Bash, Python, or similar)
Experience with Docker and container orchestration
Understanding of networking, security best practices, and compliance requirements
Excellent troubleshooting skills—you can debug mysterious issues calmly

Bonus Points

ClickHouse administration experience (clustering, replication, performance)
Serverless architecture expertise—you've built event-driven systems before
GitHub Actions workflow optimization and custom action development
Experience with Laravel Vapor or similar serverless PHP deployments
Database performance tuning (MySQL query optimization, index strategies)
Early-stage startup experience—built infrastructure from scratch
